Cody has ongoing problems with skin and was diagnosed as having
recurrent pyoderma. He is on meds for this and when he has an outbreak
of sores, I use fuciderm ointment (antibiotic). Your pup's infection
sounds like it could be a staph type and an antibiotic cream would be
good. If it doesn't clear up, a run of antibiotics may be needed.
Cody does have to use antibiotics once in a while if I can't control
the sores with fuciderm. Shaving your pup's affected area was a good
idea to help keep it clean. Also, I've used hydrogen pyroxide to wash
the area and it helps.

Christine, Have you evaluated
Cody's diet? Have you ruled out food allergies or tried a raw or grain
free diet?
